Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there also are additional costs that are not built into this formula in regard to the costs associated with banking. There are interest costs. There are costs with regard to GST where the municipalities are paying that. There are service charges being charged back to the municipality with regard to services from Public Works. There is a six percent charge there. There are all these charge-backs that are associated with doing business, but nowhere in the formula do they allow for those funds to be covered because it is an unforeseen cost because of interest and what not. So is there a mechanism to ensure that those costs associated with the administration of the services will be covered?
